What's the status of the wi WLAN driver?

["Jost Menke" <cyberlab%gmx.de@localhost>]

Hi all,

I installed NetBSD 3.01 on my 1200 recently and saw that the wi driver for 
Prism WLAN cards is not included in the generic kernel. I already suspected 
that this was done for some reason, nevertheless I compiled a custom kernel 
with wi support to give it a try. Tested 2 cards, but no luck. Relevant dmesg 
excerpts below:

card1:
8<-----------------
pccard0 at mainbus0
pcmcia0 at pccard0
wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <SMC, SMC2632W, Version 01.02, >
wi0:wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to attach controller
8<-----------------


card2:
8<-----------------
pccard0 at mainbus0
pcmcia0 at pccard0
wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <ELSA, AirLancer MC-11, Version 01.01, >
wi0:wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: command timed out, cmd=0x0, arg=0x0
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to attach controller
8<-----------------

Both cards work fine on other platforms (e.g. NetBSD hpcarm). The SMC even 
works perfectly under AmigaOS. Can anybody tell me what the issue with this 
driver is?
